| Likeness | It drinks as a Märzen: toasted malt, bread crust, and a bitterness gentle enough to leave the malt in front. The likeness is convincing. The flavor is quieter than the style usually is. | Clearly beer-like. Toasted malt, grain, mild sweetness, and a light bitterness sit in a familiar lager shape. As an Oktoberfest, it misses the fuller malt and the length the style asks for. |
